BACnet® L

BACnet-L is an e-mail list server located at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. It is an open list and is intended to provide a communications vehicle for those wishing to discuss BACnet®. The only restriction is that the list must not be used for commercial purposes such as advertising. All SSPC members are subscribers to the list, along with more than three hundred other interested persons. Everyone would be glad to hear from you!

Note: past posts submitted through BACnet L have been captured and moved the TBI Developer Community Forum.
